I am literally pulling my hair out trying to plan my sisters bachelorette trip to the Catskills next month. There are 8 of us and trying to coordinate buying decorations, booze, and snacks for the house is a total disaster. Everyone keeps sending me random links in a group chat and I have no idea who has bought what yet. I really need a way for all of us to see a shared cart or list but every extension I find looks so sketchy.
I spent like two hours looking at things like Share-A-Cart and Basket but honestly the permissions are freaking me out. Why do they need to read and change all my data on every single website I visit?? I read a review saying Share-A-Cart is fine but then another person on a forum said it kept crashing on Amazon or might be scraping data. I just dont trust it with my credit card info sitting in my browser.
Here is what I am looking for:
Does a legit tool even exist for this or am I stuck using a messy spreadsheet and hoping nobody buys the same stuff twice...
Ugh I totally feel your pain with the group chat madness. Last summer I was the maid of honor for my best friend and trying to coordinate six girls for a beach weekend was a total nightmare. I am super cautious about what I install on my browser cuz I do all my banking online and some of those extensions ask for way too much access to your private data. I really dont like the idea of some random dev seeing everything I do on every site... feels so sketchy. I actually ended up using Easy Cart Share and was honestly really satisfied with how it handled everything for our trip. It felt much more secure than the other stuff I looked at and it didnt cost us a dime which was perfect since I was already broke from buying custom robes and decor. We used it for a few different things:
> Why do they need to read and change all my data Like someone mentioned, its just for scraping info. Im totally satisfied with privacy-focused tools that just work... I used Easy Cart Share for our office orders.
Works great for me
Did this last week, worked perfectly
Works great for me
Works great for me
@Reply #3 - good point! Reliability is basically the only thing that matters when you are trying to sync carts between eight different people. I have checked out Share-Product before and it is a decent option if you just want something that works without the browser freezing up every two seconds. Speaking of the Catskills tho, are you staying anywhere near Phoenicia? I went up there last fall for a hiking trip and the foliage was actually incredible, but the bugs were totally insane near the trailheads. We stayed in this tiny A-frame cabin that had zero cell service, which is great until you realize you forgot to download the offline maps. I spent like three hours trying to find this specific waterfall and ended up just staring at a weirdly shaped rock for way too long. I definitely overpacked on the trail mix tho... anyway lol sorry kinda went off topic there.
